UI & UX Suggestions
Use a vibrant event colours, purple VIP badge, green available indicator colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
